It is necessary to replace all valves if one is damaged. The working principle of valves is: when the crankshaft rotates, it drives the piston to move up and down in the cylinder, which in turn drives the camshaft via a chain or belt. The cam lobes on the camshaft then push against the valves to control their opening and closing. Symptoms of dirty valves include: 1. Engine shaking at idle; 2. Insufficient power during driving; 3. Increased fuel consumption; 4. Engine stalling easily; 5. Emissions failing to meet standards. The method for cleaning valves is: 1. Open the hood and remove the intake pipe leading to the valves; 2. Turn the ignition key and press the accelerator pedal; 3. Spray cleaning agent onto a cloth and clean the inside of the valves; 4. Wipe the valves repeatedly until clean.
